The Aufbau is a journal for German-speaking Jews around the globe. It was founded in 1934 by the German-Jewish Club which was later renamed the New World Club. It was published in New York until 2004. Hannah Arendt, Albert Einstein, Thomas Mann, and Stefan Zweig wrote for the publication. The original purpose of the journal was as a monthly newsletter for the club, which included information and helpful facts for Jewish refugees. The Aufbau became one of the leading anti-Nazi publications of the German press in exile. From September 1, 1944 through September 27, 1946, the Aufbau printed numerous lists of Jewish Holocaust survivors located in Europe, as well as a few lists of victims. The German National Library has digitized the years 1934 to 1950 as part of its Exilpresse Digital (Exile Newspapers Digitization) Project. The Library of the Leo Baeck Institute New York digitzed the years 1951-2004

Aufbau may be digitized in the not too distant future. Therefore, it is not as high a priority as some other periodicals for preservation work. However, many of the older bound periodicals are in poor condition and should have boxes built for them (see Microsoft excel file "periodicals_which_need_boxes" for details. Also, these Aufbau issues have not yet had item records created. A library assistant should go through the issues to create item records BEFORE anything might get sent off-site for preservation work (LP, 6/4/10)
